Questions & Answers

We're a document preparation service. You answer questions about your situation, and we complete the official divorce forms required by your state. We format everything correctly and provide guidance on how to file. We don't provide legal advice — we handle the paperwork.

Yes. Every state allows you to represent yourself in court (called "pro se" representation). Document preparation services like ours are completely legal. We don't practice law — we help you complete paperwork based on the information you provide.

For straightforward, uncontested divorces, no. Our service is designed for people who want to handle things themselves. If your situation involves contested custody, complex assets, or disagreements you can't resolve, consulting a lawyer may be wise. We'll be upfront if we think your case needs professional legal help.

We prepare your documents within 2-3 business days. After filing, the timeline depends on your state — most have a waiting period (30-90 days) plus court processing time. Total time from start to final decree is typically 3-6 months for uncontested cases.

Our process can work even when communication is difficult. If your spouse is unresponsive, there are legal procedures for that. During intake, we'll assess your situation and explain your options. If it's truly contested, we'll tell you honestly.

Everything document-related: guided intake, completion of all required divorce forms for your state, proper formatting, filing instructions, and support. The only additional cost is your court filing fee (typically $200-$400, paid directly to the court).

Lawyers charge hourly ($250-500/hr) because they provide individualized legal counsel. We've streamlined the document preparation process — which is largely procedural. For uncontested divorces, this is often all you need.
